For the past three weeks or so I've been seeing what looks like (the same)
large coyote along the Wendell Rd. ranging from Hockanum to Moore's Pond.
What's curious about it to me is:
1) It's tail doesn't ride as far down as I expect to see on a coyote.
2) It's behavior looks less furtive than I'd expect. Several times I've
come on it as it's walking right down the street. Once at night I saw it,
turned the car around and it had remained where I'd previously spotted it,
before sliding off into the woods, more like a domestic dog.
3) I see it more frequently and obvioiusly than I usually see coyotes
We have had some pack howls closer than they usually are recently.
The turkeys are definitely less evident here than other years.
So, I'm wondering:
Has anyone else noticed this animal?
Does anyone have a big wolfy pet that's been getting out?
Any bad cat or chicken events about lately?
